Welcome to Olympus Wealth Management, a Utah-based firm helping clients across the country manage their wealth and align it with their life’s purpose. Our team of specialists strive to act in your best interest, offering you more freedom to focus on what you enjoy most.
If you’re planning for a liquidity event, such as selling your business or taking your company public, our team is prepared to help manage your personal finances. Our task is to help you worry less about managing the details of your personal finances and more about leading your business to success.
Our full-service team and technology are dedicated to easing your wealth management concerns before, during and after your liquidity event.
We act as each other’s sounding boards, challenging each other’s thinking to ensure the highest quality of advice. This way, we bring multiple perspectives to the table.
Our team is well-rounded for the purpose of offering additional skills and knowledge to all your financial concerns.
We are equipped to coordinate with your accountant and estate planning lawyer to address tax, estate planning, asset protection and investment concerns.
Wealthy families face complexities that require special expertise. Our experienced team is made up of many specialized professionals—not one person with a limited breadth of knowledge.
We Believe In:
We engage in the ongoing work of allocating and selecting your investments on an independent platform with a full depth and breadth of resources. In our view, this platform allows us to be better fiduciaries, free to focus on what is best for you without being limited by institutional bias or proprietary solutions.
We construct an investment strategy to meet your unique needs and risk tolerance, approaching the markets with a family wealth management perspective. Notably, we do not attempt to time the markets. Rather, we stay invested at all times in accordance with your objectives.
If your net worth exceeds $25 million and your balance sheet includes or will include significant liquid assets, you may want to engage with our multi-family office (“MFO”). This office manages complexity by being your family "CFO" and gatekeeper.
Every relationship is different. As a result, not every relationship will require all the MFO services we offer. When appropriate, we will have a conversation about your needs and customize a solution for your family.
Wealth management requires focus. We help you get there by first gathering important information about you and the lifestyle you lead.
The basics concerning your family, assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
Objectives for your financial future, such as capital preservation, income or growth—but also personal goals, such as a vacation home or travel, hobbies, new businesses, wealth transfers and charitable giving.
The roadblocks stopping you from attaining your personal or financial goals.
The variability you’re willing to risk in your portfolio.
After gathering information about you, we develop a tailored plan. We’ll make suggestions in order to empower you to make decisions.
We analyze how various spending and investing scenarios affect you.
We evaluate your options for spending, saving, and management of assets and liabilities. We will adapt an investment strategy to your unique situation, whether you want to develop your liquid assets or establish strategies for income, preservation or growth.
We’ll consider various strategies using a team approach that may include your wealth management team, accountant and estate planning lawyer. This encompasses strategy development for:
You always make the call. After considering all of your options and making a decision, we will implement your plan accordingly.
It’s not enough just to make a plan—we follow up on your decisions with tangible action. We’ve developed a process to implement your investments.
In collaboration with your accountant and estate planning lawyer, we prepare the paperwork and coordinate titling issues in order to transfer your assets. Ownership can get complicated, especially when navigating a liquidity event or prenuptial agreement. We ensure joint and separate property remain as such.
For cash investments, we phase in your investments over a certain period of time for dollar-cost averaging. If your assets are already invested, we can transfer those assets and analyze the unrealized gain or loss in order to develop a plan. No matter your situation, we will help you decide the best course of action.
We craft a distinct investment strategy to meet your goals and risk tolerance. We don’t time the markets and we consider a variety of factors to construct your portfolio.
Coordinating planning strategies with your accountant and estate planning lawyer typically involves discussions among your team of professionals followed by discussions with you. We work to ensure everyone stays focused until completion.
Maybe you decide to retire earlier than expected. Maybe you discover a new, compelling investment opportunity. Maybe your risk tolerance shifts or tax laws change.
Your plan is based on variable factors. If your facts or assumptions change, we will work with you to realign your financial plan with your goals by re-engaging in our four-step process.
We recommend meeting with you at least once per year to review your long-term plan and quarterly to discuss your investment performance, which we summarize in quarterly reports.
We are available to speak with you in person, video conference, phone or by email to address whatever needs arise: whether it be general questions, service requests or an introduction to our network.
Olympus Wealth Management was founded by three partners from J.P. Morgan’s Private Bank who have spent their careers working with high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth families. They assembled resources and designed services for the unique needs of similar families. Our team is designed to serve as your long-term trusted advisor.
We focus on fewer, larger relationships. That means we prioritize our service to you and address the details that often get ignored.
We operate on an independent platform and therefore make decisions without the institutional bias of private banks, wirehouses, or insurance companies. Instead, we draw information and solutions from various global institutions with diverse intellectual capital.
We seek to derive a reasonable rate of return for your risk tolerance. Our investment professionals will provide you with valuable insight, not just data.
We help clients with a full range of financial planning, tax planning and asset protection strategies. Our planning professionals include certified financial planners (CFP®s) and former tax and estate planning lawyers who can coordinate closely with your accountant and estate planning lawyer to implement what makes the most sense for you.
We invest in technology to help you stay on top of your finances. Our resources offer quarterly investment summaries, a comprehensive client platform, an online vault and tools that perform scenario analysis.
The safety and security of your assets are of utmost importance. This is why we’ve partnered with Fidelity Clearing & Custody solutions: an industry-leading platform that allows us to curate your portfolio with many investment opportunities to choose from.

Our hope for every one of our clients is that after each meeting, you’ll feel more confident and rest assured that your money serves as an engine of opportunity.
